Dear all,

Krishna Prasnth's plea for AC shapefiles made me decide to start pushing
mine out there ahead of time in draft form at least. I would have loved
to have them ready before the Bangalore hackathon, but  such things take
time and I am quite busy.

Still, here they come at last: draft GIS shapefiles of parliamentary
constituencies, assembly constituencies and polling booth localities,
published under an open license (CC-BY-NC-SA 4.0):

Unlike the hackathon files, these were created using an automated
algorithm (described in the blog post above). I intend to release (and
long-time archive) them by end of the month, and would welcome comments
and feedback until then: if you are familiar with both GIS and a
specific state, it would help me a lot if you could have a look.
Likewise, comments on the general method are very welcome.

So far, the smaller states are online, but I will add more on a rolling
basis - computing takes a few hours per constituency (longer for the
larger states). I hope to complete the set by end of the week.

Let me know if you find them useful,

Best,
Raphael
